this is very problematic for me , found a romanian factory which did produced this things

and it largely looks like it to except the front shield which doesn't match !! but see chassis, seat grip etc match

"Intreprinderea Mecanica Oras Dr. Petru Groza "

EC 3 looks closest !!

notice here the backwards sloped seat base !! and front fender shape matches too

^ IMO enough evidence to name it "Intreprinderea Mecanica Oras Dr. Petru Groza" or maybe just "Dr. Petru Groza" for short


turns out they also made a hideous mini truck

Shouldn't the make be something like "Ministerul Industriei Construcțiilor de Mașini" that we shorten somehow?
It is a little like the Soviet vehicles for which there is not really a make

"Ministerul Industriei Construcțiilor de Mașini" is government ministry for machine construction industry


it's like soviet stuff no real make as you can see from brochures, Electrocar seems a generic term for those vehicles

"Intreprinderea Mecanica Oras Dr. Petru Groza" means Mechanical Factory from City Dr. Petru Groza

Is the city name better than the ministry name? :D

here on the official site

" Întreprinderea Mecanică Dr. Petru Groza devine Societatea Hiperion S.A"

after 1989 gets renamed to Hiperion

It is indeed maybe easier to use that make even on older models, as these did not really had a make name back then.
